Guild Wars 2

Offair.2563:

Open the chests, stack those heroic poofs in the bank. Then log alt, walk to vendor and spent them, there ya go soulbounded items used on another toon.

Sadly this doesn’t work anymore now

IF the gold is legally farmed on a legal acount and nobody knows if
you pay money for it, there is no problem.

However .. there are the ifs .. who knows IF your friend is not a goldseller, and or has
stolen the account .. and whatever else.

Try if deleting your local.dat file helps.

Rassen.1234:

the only gw2 files i found is in computer>program files x86>guild wars 2 but its only gw2.dat, i cant find anywhere on the computer gw2.exe.

when i started the download i got 2 options, 1. start downloading using run gw2setup.exe or 2. open folder to view files.

- Save GW2setup.exe in the same folder where your GW2.dat is located.
- rename GW2Setup.exe to GW2.exe
- start GW2.exe or create a shortcut on your desktop and start with that.

Support answerrd its a known bug, they work on it and i should look for upcoming
patchnotes.

I asked then if i get them retroactively and if i could continue with my story or better
not, and they said yes but i should better wait and not continue before its fixed.

I would first try to deinstall your NVidia drivers, and reeinstall the older drivers
that you had before.

Had that bug sometimes, but that was already maybe 2 years ago.
Restarting client had that always fixed at that time.

Yeah .. those are questions where you mostly never find the answer

However .. good that all is fine now

hokeso.4028 and Saeko.9638
I guess you also don’t even have the same problem like the TE, so you better create
your own thread to avoid confusion here, and also please first post a screenshot
with GPU-z and CPU-z in front of GW2 running in the background.

So you should learn a bit maybe how windows works.

How do you start the game ? If via shortcut inspect the shortcut to see where the
gw2.exe is located. All other files are downloaded into the same directory.

Now if you just download the gw2.exe in something like your %temp% directory
or your browser cache and execute it from there it will maybe be deleted whenever
you clear your cache or temp.

So use “save as” when downloading, download to a directory like c:\games\gw2
that you must create first, and after download go there, create shortcut to the
gw2.exe on your desktop and start it from there.

Bots were never really affected by DR, since DR only affects Karma, Exp and direct
drops of armor and weapons, but not drops of crafting mats.

Loli Ruri.8307:

But why is the shader setting a problem? Is anybody curious?

NVidia driver bug ? I remember i had constant bluescreens in AoC when i was using
shader modell 3 and whenever there were some glowing blue objects. Using drivers
10 versions lower fixed that problem.

You can only transfer to a server that is not full. However you can do anything with
your friends beside WvW. For PvE or sPvP server doesn’t matter at all.

I would maybe first reset my BIOS to default, and else google if that is a known
problem with your motherboard.

Your CPU runs at 798 MHz instead of 3.3 GHz, so there is the problem. Now check
the temperatures of your CPU, and take a look at your CPU fan if it is still working.

First check if your GPU runs @x16 and your CPU at max speed when GW2 is running
and post an image like this one :

Isn’t watching esport nearly as exciting as playing world of world of warcraft ?

Yeah .. there is human T3, if you are human, and then there is Kryta Armor, that
however actually isn’t even in the shop anymore. And thats it more or less.

Cele was really cheap if you had bought some stacks of Quartz last year at the
Festival of 4 Winds event .. however if you need to buy quartz now its kitten
expensive.

So else if you don’t want to go full glass canon i always liked using knights or soldier
armor and berserker trinkets and weapons .. at least if you play a direct damage
character.

Ryn.6459:

Beldin.5498:

Yeah .. not all mobs in the game stand still and let you have 100% DPS uptime
like a training golem. And thats where all these numbers came from .. fighting
against stupid training golems.

What does dps uptime means? damage per second uptime doesn’t have any sense.

Uptime means the time when you actually do damage .. if you dodge for example
you don’t do damage. At the golem you never have to dodge, so you have 100%
uptime .. in a fight you need to dodge, maybe you get stunned or downed or the
boss gets invulnerable … or whatever .. in all those moments you don’t do damage
so your DPS is far less than any theortical value. That could also maybe bring a
ranged player nearer to the DPS of a melee if the ranged don’t needs to dodge
so much. Or even if they dodge, they can start doing damage right after that
while the melee has to run back to the mob and looses even more time.

The bags are still RNG .. so you may get leather, or other mats. From the dredge bags
i would say maybe 1 out of 5 or 10 gives leather.

Ettins in Timberline are also bad to kill, they have a lot more HPs than other mobs,
so try maybe the dredge in dredgehaunt cliffs. I just kill them when i’m there to
harvest iron ore ^^

Beldin.5498:

Must say, i didn’t even knew they are not salvageable. However the only exotic
backpacks we had before were from temples in Orr, and i guess they also are
not salvageable.

Another reason is maybe, that they work like a mini ascended item, since they also
have infusion slots.

Well, we have great lucky ram lanterns since the start of the year but those also arent salvageable or forgeable.

The temple armor was the only alternative before we got the crafted ones. The ram
bags came after we already had the crafted.

I’m only a little sad that they stealth nerfed the stats of them, since they had at first
even a little more total stats with a level 65 jewel than the temple stuff with a
level 80 jewel.

malachi.7503:

so if I understand this scaling principle correctly, if I want drops for tier 4 leathers, I should make cast of characters to get to that level range. That even if i get bags that are supposed to drop that tier of mats, scaling makes it scale up to my lvl range automatically . so at lvl 80 I’m in essence cutting my own hands off because i’ve reduced my chances of getting lower tier mats.

Nope .. the bags listed in the wiki always give the listed items, no matter what level
your character is.

Your level only has impact on drops of armor and weapons, and opening champion
bags.

Must say, i didn’t even knew they are not salvageable. However the only exotic
backpacks we had before were from temples in Orr, and i guess they also are
not salvageable.

have infusion slots.

Yeah .. they also already had nerfed the direct gold from champ bags 2 times
long before we even got SW .. and at that time i already wondered why the hell
don’t they also nerf direct money from dungeons. And than they even nerfed
direct gold from events from 1.20s to 90c or whatever .. but they still didn’t
touched the holy cow that were dungeons.

The problem is that loot scales to your level, so as level 80 you mostly get also
level 80 armor drops that just give T5 or T6 leather. So you can mostly just
get leather from salvaging pelts, or from opening bags.

Personally i get it now and than from the bags that the dredge in dredgehaunt cliffs
drop, but thats not really much.

Here is a longer list :
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rugged_Leather_Section

Edit (since somebody postet while i was still writing) :
You don’t need to open those bags with low level chars, that is only relevant for
champion bags.

DarksunG.9537:

(3 armor sets in an expansion? That’s so laughably ludicrous It sounds like a bad joke. I can’t stress enough how paltry that is.), put all the rewards into the gem store & gave the players large lengths of time between rewards.

Its especially such a joke, since we don’t even get any new armor sets in the gemstore
because, like it was posted in a blog a while ago, all armor sets should now be
exclusive ingame rewards.

Since i have no fun playing the new maps, and those 3 new sets are also totally ugly
in my eyes, i have till now just gotten revenant gloves and boots as new skins from
an expansion that costed as much as the initial game, that had 100s of skin sets.

So since introduction of the wardrobe 1.5 years ago, the only new complete
armor skin-set i have got is Carapace .. everything else is from before we even got
the wardrobe.

And that is the greatest joke of all.

Yeah .. not all mobs in the game stand still and let you have 100% DPS uptime
like a training golem. And thats where all these numbers came from .. fighting
against stupid training golems.

We built a Legendary a while ago for our Guild Leader, so we all gifted mats and gold
to one person who built it and then sent it to our leader. Was all absolutely no problrm

SW has already nerfed itself long time ago, when i just looked what happend to
prices of vicious fangs for example.

This is at least NOT a GW2 error, but a problem with your Mac :

https://www.google.de/search?q=Video+hardware+acceleration+is+currently+disabled+due+to+safe+mode+operation+or+a+driver+error.+Please+ensure+you+have+a+working+OpenGL+Hardware+Rende&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=fs&gws_rd=cr,ssl&ei=SFRYVuTkIsSrPsqsrsAB#q=Video+hardware+acceleration+is+currently+disabled+due+to+safe+mode+operation+or+a+driver+error.+Please+ensure+you+have+a+working+OpenGL+Hardware+Renderer

I have no clue on Macs, but if they are in any way comparable to Windows PCs
i would say try uninstall and reinstall video drivers, and reinstall OpenGL.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

I hope the living story brings more depth into the HoT-maps (because the maps itself are the best I’ve seen in any rpg/mmo-game I’ve played so far)

Living story is dead since we finished Scarlet. LS2 is just a bunch of instances that don’t
change anything (beside some very small changed) in the open world.

Its more a dead story .. but people wanted it so it seems since they don’t liked the
temporary character that made the world more alive in LS1.

simplesimon.2084:

Also make sure you buy it directly from Anet or authorized retailer.

Oh yeah .. its not a real good present if it leads to the closure of the complete account.

slpr.2647:

did they nerf this thing?!?! I used to get from 6 to 10 out of 3 strikes, now I get……. 3. yep, 1 each strike. barely pays to have the darn thing.

Quartz has always been mostly just 3 for me. Seldom you get 1,1,5 or maybe just
one charged crystal.

Electro.4173:

Like many others, I assumed it was perhaps that they were saving them for HoT or something, but now… who knows. Maybe they were just so busy with HoT that they didn’t have time for that sort of thing even for a joint HoT release, but that doesn’t seem to have slowed down outfits or weapon skins, so… yah, kind of a mystery. I hope they haven’t reached the point where they aren’t going to add any more period.

Oh yeah .. the same like i thought new armor skins would come with HoT, since
we also only got Carapace in the last 1.5 years since introduction of the wardrobe.

So for a full price expansion i expected nearly as much skins as in the original game.

But i guess new hairstlyes will also be only available as exclusive raid rewards in
the future.

LFG = Looking for Group .. what extra information does there have to be in game to
know that it is not a LFT = Looking for Trade ?

mauried.5608:

I dont understand the OPs post.
If the game was so much fun prior to HOT, and now playing HOT isnt fun , then just dont play HOT.
Play the part of the game that was fun before HOT.
In an MMO its not compulsory to do everything.

Thats what i do .. but it still also sometimes simply sucks the fun out of that if you
know that you payed for an expansion and you simply dont play it because it
is no fun for you.

It simply often makes me feel torn that i on the one hand think i really should do
some of the HoT stuff, but on the other hand feel absolutely no motivation to
ever go there again.

How should people understand things when you only make some very vague remarks ?

John Smith said a while ago : The LFG tool is no grey market !

So if you abuse it for some kind of transactions that have nothing to do with playing
together, its a clear abuse and can be reportet.

Also here is the official policy :
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Policy-on-the-LFG-Tool/first#post4768699

Gaile Gray.6029:

The LFG (Looking for Group) Tool is intended to be used to help put together a group to enjoy game content, such as Open World, Fractals of the Mists, or PvP. Over the last several weeks players have expressed increased concern about abuse of the LFG Tool as a growing number of individuals have begun using the LFG Tool to advertise the sale of in-game items.

Clearly, if a group-formation tool is flooded with item sales and trade messages, it will be difficult for players to use it for its intended purpose. Beyond that, trades and sales initiated in the tool are at high risk for scams. While our Customer Support Team will take action on the accounts of players who engage in scams and other disallowed activities, they generally will not be able to replace items of players who fall victim to these unscrupulous individuals.

Our policy: Players may use the LFG Tool only for the formation of a group.

Players may use the tool to sell a spot in a group, but they may not use it to sell or trade items or for any other unintended purposes. Doing so will result in an account infraction.

You can help us reduce the spam and refocus the tool by reporting individuals who are misusing the LFG Tool. Simply click on the name of that player in your chat window, right click, choose “Report,” and then choose “LFG System Abuse.” With your help we’ll be able to keep the LFG Tool clear for your use in forming groups.

Shovels are accountbound, so you cant sell / buy them, so no need to spam
“buying shovels” in world chat .. or whatever you did.

Naxek Lucis.3826:

Can I install this client without the 32 bit client already installed?

Its just an alternative exe-file that you drop in your gw2-directory. If you don’t have
downloaded the gw2.dat till now you need that of cause.

archmagus.7249:

Beldin.5498:

Yeah .. i also bought the 100 € version, and have spent maybe 4-5 hours max in the
new areas, and have absolutely no interest to go there ever again.

So what did i got for that ? A (not even full skilled) Reaper and Dragonhunter and
Tyria mastery. Heck .. not even some new armor skins, and that in a skin based
game. Oh forgot .. its now all about raiding like in every other MMO.

Yeah stuff on HoT does take a while to get. It’s unfortunate that you actually have to WORK for the things you want. People have been complaining for a long time that the game is too easy and that GW2 lacks any kind of end-game content. But, now that content is here, they complain that it’s too hard because they can’t grind it out in the first week.

When i work i normally get paid for .. fine if other people like to pay for doing “work”
but thats not what all people like.

And the complainers that wanted harder content, firstly wanted that as instanced
content, and for that are the raids, and not as open world stuff, and especially
have i never heared for having masses of harder open world mobs packed up all
in a maze where nobody really stops to fight them, but just trains trough and
hopes that you get somewhere alive. There is no real fun in explorig, its just
“run Forest run !!!

And secondly those people were just a fraction of 1% (only 1% of the player post
actually in the forum according to the german CM) of the GW2 players.

Yeah .. i also bought the 100 € version, and have spent maybe 4-5 hours max in the
new areas, and have absolutely no interest to go there ever again.

Tyria mastery. Heck .. not even some new armor skins, and that in a skin based
game. Oh forgot .. its now all about raiding like in every other MMO.

I wish they would go back to the initial idea of the game with something like LS1
instead of turning the game for 180 degrees with this horrible expansion.

You have to go to “Outfits” and disable the outfit.

Heisenberg.1482:

Is it ok to change the 64-bit client name to Gw2.exe. I moved the 32-bit client to a new folder so that it never gets opened by anything. I figure the Nvidia drivers will recognize the game this way.

No prooblem, i also renamed it to GW2.exe for Overwolf and Razer Synapse.

Reseating worked for most of the people with this problem, not much more i can
say if you are sure the card is in the right slot and reseating doesn’t help. Could of
cause also be that something is physically broken.

And i had at some point over 200 charged quartz and often crafted celestial armor
pieces just because they were cheaper for me than other. But now i’m more or less
on the last 2 stacks from what i bought last year.

Yeah .. the prices were already rising a lot long before release of HoT.
Bazaar of 4 Winds in Summer would have maybe fixed the prizes again for the
next year … but now they will simply rise to the moon.

Is your SSD running in AHCI mode or still in IDE mode ? That also make quite some
difference.
